What's the banking partner? A well-known name?

According to the help section it seems to be Lemon Way :

"You will find the bank details (RIB or BIC + IBAN) for LEMON WAY, the banking partner of PAYMIUM."

Il me semble que pour l'instant l'authentification OAuth n'est pas pleinement implémentée, donc il faut utiliser l'authentification HTTP Basic, telle que décrite ici par exemple :

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Authentification#M.C3.A9thode_Basic

Il faut juste rajouter cette en-tête à la requête HTTP que tu souhaite faire

Guess what you don't like it, create your own wiki and prove that wiki is bad, instead of complaining.
Thank you for your constructive remark. Bashing users who wants to contribute to the documentation around Bitcoin is really helping the developpement of this currency.

Wait you think I was bashing you LOL, I really wasn't, if you think the wiki is bad, start your own, it is that simple, instead of sitting here complaining your not whitelisted to edit. If you think that is a bad comment, or bashing, you sir are not going to be around these forums for long. Now stop whining and either pay up or built your own, that is showing how decentralized the currency really is, and making the community knowledge base stronger in many points instead of one. So maybe instead of thinking I was bashing, maybe I was showing you what the real way of handling this, instead of sounding like a 3 year old and complaining that you can't edit on a public wiki. People like you will not get far in this community with that way of thinking.
So start your own wiki. I'll give you hosting and a wiki setup for free to do it. You just buy your own domain.

Before making my own wiki I though it may be wise to contact the admin (still no response), then showing my opinion about the barriers to pass throught before contributing.

And according to the statistics in the non-english sub-wiki, I think that these barriers are very limiting for contributors. The first line in the following links indicates the number of pages :

Whats wrong with paying a small donation if you wish to edit it?
What is wrong is that I want to create value in the bitcoin wiki and community by translating and creating pages. If I wanted to make a donation it wouldn't be a problem.

As far as I know, "wiki" is not a synonym of a website with contents that everyone can edit. There are lots of wikis with locked-down pages that only the admin can edit, wikis that can only be edited by certain people (e.g. people who register and send an email somewhere asking for write permission), and even wikis (like the Bitcoin.it one) where one must pay to edit.

Personally I think that requiring a Bitcoin payment to enable editing is a smart feature to prevent bots from posting spam, and it ensures that the editor knows enough about the subject of the wiki (Bitcoin) to create bitcoin transations. About the fee being too high... well, some months ago 0.01 was "nothing". Now the standard for "nothing" is more like 0.0005, or even lower. That the fees are high is a more adequate subject for discussion, in my opinion.

EDIT: seeing that, as described on https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BitcoinPayment , the proceedings from the payments are used to keep with wiki online, and since probably not that many people are signing up, maybe the fee is not that high.
Maybe they could make the donation "reversable", so it could still prove that people know how to make a transaction, and it would still reduce spam if the donation is kept for like a month or with a certain number of edits.

Listen, i know that it is a measure against spam, I paid the fee for editing english pages, but I am reluctant of giving more money because I want to contribute to the wiki. I can prove that I am not a spammer, I made a nice email about it being an issue for me and got no response, so why make it so hard for people to add content ?

Hell, two years ago bitcoin were given to contributors !
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin:Contributors_Award

I do not ask for donations, but I think it would be a more sane approach, as people with time could edit the wiki, and those without could make donation to help the wiki.

Is Bitcoin.it a real wiki ?

Hello,

I just wanted to say that I think that the bitcoin.it wiki is far from being a wiki, as in wikipedia.

You need to pay a fee to be able to edit (0.01BTC/0.5€/0.6$) for EACH language you would like to contribute to :

https://it.bitcoin.it/wiki/Speciale:BitcoinPayment
https://fr.bitcoin.it/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:BitcoinPayment
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Special:BitcoinPayment
https://es.bitcoin.it/wiki/Especial:BitcoinPayment

And when you try to contact admin/mods through contact@bitcoin.it, you get no response (I was asking to allow me edit french pages as I made a donation to the "english" donation page.)

So my questions are : How could be a wiki that much broken become the "official" Bitcoin wiki ? How can this wiki be an incentive to get started with Bitcoins when there is only 2 pages in your language and you can't add content ?

Obtention des droits de modification du wiki fr.bitcoin.it
by
twix
on 18/03/2013, 18:03:42 UTC
Bonjour,

Je souhaite contribuer au wiki version française, qui est à mon goût trop pauvre en contenu, mais cependant il est très difficile d'obtenir les droits de modification.

Je me suis créé un compte, sans la possibilité de modifier quoi que ce soit... J'ai arpenté le wiki à la recherche des modalités pour pouvoir éditer, j'ai rien trouvé. En demandant sur #bitcoin sur IRC on m'a rapidement aidé, et un des admins a rajouté un encart au login détaillant ses conditions (merci à lui, car c'était vraiment introuvable).

Il faut en effet faire une donation en bitcoin (que j'ai faite) pour obtenir ces droits, tel que détaillé dans cet article :
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BitcoinPayment

Suite à ça j'ai obtenus les droits d'édition, mais uniquement sur les pages anglaises !

J'ai essayé de contacter MagicalTux sur IRC (une personne m'a conseillé de voir avec lui) , mais je ne l'ai pas encore croisé, donc toujours pas de droits d'éditions pour les pages françaises...

Je trouve cela très dommage, car même si je suis motivé pour contribuer au wiki, une telle difficulté d'accès en découragera plus d'un je pense.

En espérant que la situation s'améliore,

Twix

As you provided the source, I investigated a "Force Close" I obtained right after login while obtaining user info:

In Profile.java, displayInfo() method, line 43, Double.valueOf can't parse the string "1.82E-5" of my Globals.profitToday (Yes I know so much gain !).

This buggy value appears to be returned by your API (Captured this at runtime on Network.java, line 98):

{"username":"twix","balance":"0.00003246","spent_total":"0.01424222","won_total":"0.00476164","deposits_total":"0.00000000","withdrawals_total":"0.00000000","profit":-0.00948058,"profit_today":1.82e-5}

Hello,

Works well as for now on ZTE Blade S - ZTE San Francisco - ZTE Crescent (same device)

Maybe you could check out ActionBarSherlock to give every device a Holo interface.
